Deadly Manners

by The Paragon Collective

Deadly Manners is a 10 episode, dark comedy murder-mystery series set in the winter of 1954. It follows the events during the night of the affluent Billings family annual dinner party with their distinguished, eccentric guests. However, all is not fun and games as shortly after the party starts, a snowstorm begins to rage outside, trapping all the partygoers inside their host's mansion. When a murderer starts killing off those in attendance, the guests must figure out who is responsible, or at least how to stay alive -- lest they be next. Deadly Manners was created by Ali Garfinkel and Alex Aldea. Deadly Manners stars Kristen Bell, Denis O'Hare, Alisha Boe, RuPaul, Anna Chlumsky, Timothy Simons, Michelle Visage, Alona Tal, David Cummings and is narrated by LeVar Burton. Artwork by Kina Lee.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

All the voice actors were superb. Great story and kept me guessing until the end. The only complaint I have is how heavy handed the handling of the same sex relationship was. I get wanting to preach tolerance, but it wasn’t realistic of the time period and it was distracting with how many times “everyone deserves love” was brought up. After it was mentioned for the 100th time, it started to detract from the story because their romance no longer felt organic and like it was placed there to tick a box. Other than that, this was a very entertaining podcast.

Jamie Cheval · Feb 2024

(Spoiler alert) Great if somewhat cheesy old school murder mystery. So my kids are super into murder mysteries and can handle adult themes (they loved Knives Out) so I thought this would be a great one for some long car rides we had. And it was solidly PG until about six episodes in when completely out of the blue a bdsm storyline emerges! I had to laugh to myself from the front seat as they sat silent through it. Still recommend it, just be prepared!

With such a great compilation of talent, how can you go wrong?!? I was laughing out loud by myself at the comedic slant (butler who appears from nowhere, the actor, ect) Then there’s the plot - I was glued. The surround sound was so clear, it had me jumping around like a nut. LOL. Thank you for a super well written, well acted podcast that was not about the apocalypse during a pandemic. I needed the relief. Thank you!

I don’t know how I missed this when it came out. The Voice Actors are HUGE STARS ! It was such a kookie cast and crazier story. NO SPOILERS HERE but it kept me guessing until the end. It was NOT who I thought it would be! I want MORE! I wish there were more podcasts like this one !
